After a disappointing offseason, the rebuilding New York Knicks being their season against the always steady San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday at AT&T Center.
The game is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. ET. Here’s how to watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Spurs on your computer, phone or streaming device, with the options being dependent on whether or not the game is in your market:
If the Game is in Your Market
The game will be televised locally on either MSG (Knicks market) or KENS-CBS (Spurs market). If you don’t have cable, you can watch either of those channels live online via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
Fans in New York, San Antonio & Other Local Markets: FuboTV
For those who live in local markets, MSG Network and KENS-CBS are among the 95-plus live TV channels included in the main FuboTV bundle, which is largely tailored towards sports.
You can start a free seven-day trial of FuboTV right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Spurs on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, or other supported device via the FuboTV app.
If you can’t watch the game live, FuboTV comes with 30 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as a 72-hour look-back feature, which will allow you to watch any game on-demand within three days of its conclusion, even if you don’t record it.
Fans in San Antonio: Amazon Prime’s CBS Channel
With the game being on CBS for those in San Antonio, Amazon Prime’s CBS channel is a great option if you’re not interested in getting any other channels.
If you already have Amazon Prime or want to start a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, you can watch all live and on-demand CBS content via the CBS All-Access Amazon Channel, which comes with a seven-day free trial.
Once you’re signed up for both Amazon Prime and the CBS channel, you can then watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Spurs on your computer via the Amazon website, or you can watch on your phone (Android and iPhone compatible), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or other streaming device via the Amazon Video app.
Fans in San Antonio: Hulu With Live TV
For those who live in local markets, KENS-CBS is part of the 60-plus live TV channels included with Hulu With Live TV, which also comes with Hulu’s huge on-demand streaming TV and movie library. MSG Network is not included with Hulu.
You can sign up for Hulu with Live TV right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Spurs on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Echo Show, or other streaming device via the Hulu app.
If you can’t watch the game live, Hulu With Live TV comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as the option to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of space and the ability to fast-forward through commercials.
If The Game is Out of Your Market
Amazon Prime’s NBA League Pass Channel
This is ultimately the same as regular NBA League Pass (more info on that below), but this is the preferred option because you can watch games on Amazon’s digital platforms rather than NBA’s. The latter has had user experience and buffering issues in the past.
Whether you already have Amazon Prime or you start a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, you can watch every out-of-market, non-nationally televised NBA game via Amazon Prime’s NBA League Pass channel. A free trial is available until October 29, meaning you can watch this game at no cost.
You can sign up for both Amazon Prime and the NBA League Pass channel right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Spurs and all out-of-market games on your computer via the Amazon website, or you can watch on your phone (Android and iPhone compatible), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or other streaming device via the Amazon Video app.
Again, this is mostly the same as the Amazon Prime option above, with the big different being you’ll watch through NBA’s digital platforms rather than Amazon’s. There are also a few different pricing options when signing up for League Pass through NBA.com (one-team pass, all-team pass or all-team, commercial-free pass), but they also have a free trial through October 29.
You can sign up right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Spurs and all out-of-market games on your computer via the NBA website, or you can watch on your phone (Android and iPhone compatible), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or other compatible device via the NBA app.
Knicks vs Spurs Preview
The Knicks were hoping for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving when free agency rolled around this season. Instead, they ended up with the likes of Julius Randle, Bobby Portis and Marcus Morris — hardly pieces that can turn a team into a championship contender overnight.
The most notable player the Knicks added was through the draft in former Duke standout R.J. Barrett, who went No. 2 overall. He played well in the preseason, drawing rave reviews. But he isn’t letting it go to his head.
“I mean preseason, it counts for nothing,’’ Barrett said Tuesday after practice. “So [Wednesday] is where the real evaluation begins.
“I’ve been here for a while, getting used to it but now it’s like real. It’s real. As soon as I run out on the court, I’m going to feel a different type of vibe and different tension. I’m going to go out on the court and have fun with it.”
The Knicks finished 17-65 last season, so coach David Fizdale knows there’s some potential for improvement with the new-look roster.
“I don’t have a gauge or number, but I do think this team can be a lot better,” Knicks coach David Fizdale said. “I just think we got a good mix of talented players. The guys all add a different skill set that we didn’t have before. We added more shooting, couple more playmakers, we got some guys that can post. We got a guy or two that’s done it in the playoffs, which is a really valuable asset. That’s why I feel like this team is maybe further ahead than last year’s team.”
The Spurs have pillars in stars DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge, but Dejounte Murray — a speed up-and-comer returning from an ACL tear — will add a new wrinkle to the squad that won 48 games a year ago. Murray signed a four-year extension just before the season.
“It’s just fun to watch these guys come out and play,” Popovich said. “I’m watching Dejounte and, my gosh, I haven’t seen a guy that fast in five, six or seven years. His speed is incredible and then you see Lonnie and he might be faster. Seeing that speed and athleticism is going to be fun to add to the program. So, pace and that sort of thing becomes pretty important.”
The Spurs are listed as 10-point favorites for the game with a total of 214 points.
